"NATIONAL" 
\ CERTIFIED FOOD COLORS 

The timings in this card illustrate a few of the great variety of 
the shades which may be obtained by the use of "NATIONAL" 
Certified Food Colors. 

"Certified" Colors may be used in food without objection from 
the Department of Agriculture, provided the use of the color in food 
does not conceal damage or impurity. 

"Uncertified" coal-tar dyes are likely to contain arsenic and 
other poisonous materials, which, when used in foods, may render 
them injurious to health and therefore adulterated under the law. 

All "NATIONAL" Food Colors manufactured by the National 
Aniline & Chemical Company, Inc., are "Certified" to government 
formulae and approved by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States 
Department of Agriculture, thus insuring the trade a pure and 
uniform product. Because .of their superior quality, "NATIONAL" 
Certified Food Colors are used by the most particular producers of 
food stuffs, confectionery, beverages and ice cream. 

"Primary" or basic colors, when certified, are made according 
to government specifications or formulae. 

"Secondary" shades or blends are combinations of primary 
colors, but the importance of their also being certified is too frequently 
overlooked. 

"NATIONAL" secondary shades are actually certified as such. 
In other words, the original primary colors are certified to govern- 
ment requirements and the final secondary shades or blends are 
again certified. 

Strength in "Certified" Food Colors means economy in use. 

Brilliancy of color insures attractive appearance in food products. 

Uniformity in our product means uniformity in the color of 
food stuffs and prevents the necessity of changing recipes.

All the Primary Colors (with the exception of National Yellow 
AB - Certified and National Yellow OB - Certified), and all the 
Secondary Colors are soluble in water. National Yellow AB - Certi- 
fied, and National Yellow OB - Certified, are oil soluble, and are 
used for coloring food products such as butter, oleo-margarine and 
cheese. 



Suggestions for the use of 

"NATIONAL" 
CERTIFIED FOOD COLORS 

Use sufficient soft water (preferably distilled) to completely 
dissolve the color. This quantity will vary from three to eight ounces 
of color to one gallon of water according to the type. 

Stir the mixture until solution is complete. 

The application of heat facilitates dissolving. Boiling violently 
is unnecessary. Raise the temperature from 150 to 180 degrees 
Fahrenheit, stirring continuously until color is completely dissolved. 

The use of high open flames is to be avoided because of the 
danger of overheating the container and scorching the color on its 
exposed portion. 

Careful observance of the above will avoid the appearance of 
particles or moats of undissolved color which sometimes float in the 
solution for several hours. 

The difficulty of undissolved portions may also be overcome by 
first preparing the dry color into a smooth paste by mixing with cold 
water and stirring thoroughly in order to completely wet every 
particle of color. If this is done, a clear, uniform solution can be 
obtained. 



<&ORsy NATIONAL ANILINE fcf CHEMICAL CO., Inc. 



The use of porcelain, good quality enamel, or glassware is 
recommended. Avoid use of metals. 

For storage of solutions, similar ware is preferable, but clean 
cypress tanks or stout oak barrels may be used, provided they are 
kept scrupulously clean. 

Solutions kept in storage should be protected from direct sun- 
light, dust, dirt and contamination. Evaporation should be pre- 
vented. 

When sugar or other fermentable substances are added, the usual 
precautions must be observed to prevent fermentation or decom- 
position. Change of color in a solution may be taken as an indication 
of either condition in some form, due to the color being affected. Fre- 
quently the addition of any common or approved preservative, such 
as benzoate of soda, will prevent fermentation, etc. 

Solutions prepared and handled according to the foregoing 
directions and not exposed to harmful influences, may be kept 
indefinitely. 

Stock solutions of National Yellow AB - Certified, or National 
Yellow OB - Certified, may be prepared by dissolving the color in 
the ratio of four ounces of color to one gallon of olive or cotton-seed 
oil at about 150° F.

EXPLANATORY 

When examining this card, please ob- 
serve that there are three ways of looking 
at the colors. 

(1) By ho/ding the card as you would hold a 
regular book. 

(2) By holding a color-page to the light (for clear 
liquid tests, for instance). 

(3) By holding both a color -page and one of the 
plain interleaves, pressed together, to the 
light (for the purpose of observing semi- 
transparent conditions). 

By one of these three methods it is found 
that almost any effect desired may be vis- 
ualized.
